Rosine Stevens its a very good but can get complicted now and again....i would suggest it to anyone to read but it is a little strange cos of the mind reading thing...specially if you've watched the film first, its no way as good as the book


Robin the good: I originally thought the concept was cool. I actually looked forward to reading the whole series.

the bad: I found that it dragged on and I basically kept reading it expecting and waiting for it to get better. I didn't feel like it did nor did the rest of the series get much better either. I didn't connect with any of the characters at all. I honestly didn't care if they lived or died. maybe the movies will be better.

What I liked about this book: The characters had very varying personalities; Newt; Minho; Brenda; The concept of the book was very interesting.

What I didn't like about this book: It dragged on and on and on; I kept waiting for it to get better and it didn't; I didn't particularly love any of the characters, minus the ones I mentioned; Teresa.

Do you think that once it started getting to the good parts it seemed to not drag as much?


Robin Mia, yes, there were parts I found interesting and not dragging as much, so it is not like I absolutely hated this series. I just found it to not be as exciting as some of the other series I have read. and I can say that about other series, too. some I have just found hold my interest better or are more interesting than others.

Nikita Well, it's a really good story with action and some intense stuff but it was slow in the beginning. It's good and I liked it.
